Lafayette Regional Airport enjoyed its third-best month ever for boardings in June, numbers that may help to offset lower-than-expected passenger totals from weather-stricken January and February.

Gregory M. Roberts, director of aviation, said 21,676 passengers boarded flights for Delta Connection, United Airlines and American Eagle in Lafayette last month, the three commercial carriers that serve the airport. That number trails only total passenger enplanements in May 2012 and June 2012, the two busiest months ever at Lafayette Regional.
